The Value of Connections at GSBLSU

We asked Brandon Nelson – VP at Hancock Whitney Bank in New Orleans if he was able to make connections at GSBLSU that have been useful to him! Here’s his response:

“I met people from all different aspects of banking and different sizes of banks. It was great to be exposed to so many different types of bankers and players in the financial industry. I was lucky enough to have another banker help me with a problem with a client and it helped me move forward and avoid landmines. It cut the learning curve in half just by a fellow banker sharing his experiences.”
